Expanding on this, do some digging at both http://sourceforge.net and
http://freshmeat.net
Yes the bulk of the projects are desktop PC oriented, but (as XMK
illustrates), there are some really interesting projects targeted at a lower
level. Also check out http://sourceforge.net/projects/etherboot/. Etherboot
is an open source network boot ROM (you can load from many other sources for
testing, or if ROMing just won't work. It's not specific to
microcontrollers, but then again, neither is LinuxBIOS.
